Java: Is there a version of ++ for booleans?

Question

How do you use an increment operator for booleans so every time it adds ++, it changes from true to false or from false to true?

Are you referring to toggling? `boolean = !boolean` – Jacob G. Jun 18 '18 at 03:51 — Jacob G., Jun 18 '18 at 03:51
ah yes. thank you. Sorry for the ignorance. – Allen Rhodes Jun 18 '18 at 03:52 — Allen Rhodes, Jun 18 '18 at 03:52
Or `boolean ^= true` to us a XOR. I find that elegant – AxelH Jun 18 '18 at 05:51 — AxelH, Jun 18 '18 at 05:51

There is no way to toggle a boolean with ++ operator as those are generally applied on numbers. In case you want to toggle your boolean from false to true and true to false. U can use inversion operator e.g. myBoolean = !myBoolean;
